Extra Resources - Food Needs
Dear MJ1 Families,
Due to current circumstances, we feel compelled to remind you that we have community resources available to help with food related needs. We have included a Google form sign-up for Hope in a Backpack, Thanksgiving Meals, and Christmas Meals. If your family is interested, please sign-up for the ones you would like and we will contact you with more information. We have also linked a food resource guide from FORK, Oneida, and Vilas counties with available food security resources in our area. If you have any questions, please reach out to either Ms. Bandur or Ms. Sandstrom.

Bus Transportation App
MHLT Families,
The NEW option, Transversa My Ride K-12 App, is available to access your child's bus information.
If you have filled out the Formstack survey, your child's route information will now be viewable in the My Ride K-12 app.
If you choose to download the My Ride K-12 app you will need your child's student ID which can be found in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
If you have questions related to your child's busing information please contact Lakeland Area Bus Company at (715)356-5984.
